This month's release of the latest Emerica video was the perfect opportunity for us to embed our most deeply-rooted Emerica-centric photographer, Atiba, with the makers and shakers of MADE Chapter Two. This is a video that needs no introduction; every Emerica production is a must-see experience, atmospherically uniqueyou could call it the "Emerica Vibe." Atiba goes way back with Emerica: he has been involved with Andrew Reynolds and company seemingly since the beginning. As such, he has an impressive portfolio of classic photos which we are showcasing in a very special "Life On Film" dedicated to "The Boss." (Paired alongside Reynolds's MADE coverage in issue #152, you're essentially looking at "The Timeline Of a Flawless Flick.") Fellow MADE menFigueroa, Herman, Hsu, and Longalso each get their own feature and interview in this issue. You can't help but be stoked about this lineup! This is Emerica, indeed. Also in this issue: we have a retrospective (emphasis on "retro") of vintage portraits combined with contemporary skate photosall shot at night with flashesby Mike Blabac. Mike Carroll, Josh Kalis, Brad Staba, and Jamie Thomas get in on the action (naturally, we named it "Flash Back"); Deathwish's Jon Dickson gets a full feature (and a portrait of his lovely dog, Darlin') in "Heart of a Dog." We dive into Phil Zwijsen's latest hydro-centric project, "Waterproof," that he filmed with French Fred (caution: Slippery when wet). Lastly, frequent contributor Jon Coulthard came back from a CONS trip in South Africa with some colorful photos and Aaron Herrington brought back some colorful stories. Mike Anderson, Al Davis, Bobby De Keyzer, and a once-bitten-twice-shy Jake Johnson, joined Herrington for this skate safari, spending time with all manner of jungle cats and zebras. We could say that the trip went smoothly, without a single feline-rated mishapbut we would be lion.
